With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda's beloved open-world RPG is once again capturing the hearts of millions. As fans revel in the nostalgia, they're eager to share their wisdom with newcomers who may have missed out on the original experience two decades ago.
Bethesda has made it clear that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake, preserving many of the original game's unique features—and quirks. One such quirk, often cited as a frustration, is the game's level scaling system. Despite being labeled a "mistake" by the game's original designer, this system remains intact in the remastered version. It means that the quality of loot you find is directly tied to your character's level at the time of acquisition, and enemies will scale to match your level as well.
This aspect of the game has prompted seasoned players to offer advice to those new to Oblivion, particularly regarding Castle Kvatch. The community's guidance centers around strategies to navigate the challenges posed by the level scaling system in this iconic location.
